For budding space scientists, bookworms, fun-lovers, and thinkers alike, HowTheLightGetsIn has plenty on offer to keep children and young adults of all ages busy in our Mindcraft area, from tots right up to sixth formers.

There'll be craft and tech stalls plus sandpit and fairground rides, and the Hangout for older children. Young adults can learn from the world's leading thinkers at the IAI School and Academy.

Plus this year we're excited to be expanding our offering to include a whole Children and Young Adult's Programme, including talks, interactive sessions and learning experiences to pique the curiosity of 7-12 year olds. Stay tuned for more info.

We welcome under 12s to the festival free of charge when accompanied by an adult.
Tickets for 12-17 year olds will be available at a discounted rate.
